Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 974

Although Penny was a low-ranking female official, she had Lisandra's favor and full trust. Just now, it had been her fierce opposition that had swayed others, turning supporters into opponents.

Still, there were a few, like the Diplomatic Affairs Department officials, who supported inviting Starhaven's renowned physician, Sebastian. His reputation had reached Westhaven; when Westhaven's previous king had been gravely ill, some court officials had even suggested summoning Sebastian for treatment.

However, the late king refused to entrust his life to someone from Starhaven, which was why the idea was abandoned.

The argument raged on. Carissa and Winona, seeing the chaos, quickly moved Sebastian toward the eastern courtyard.

"Stop them!" Penny shrieked, her voice cutting through the tension.

"Let me explain. Listen to me…" Violet stepped forward, grabbing Penny's arm. "We're only doing this for Grand Princess Lisandra. There are maids by her side. If we do anything suspicious, your people will see."

"Yes, that's right," Travis added, stepping between them and Leroy. "Don't worry, our physician will just check her vital signs. Where's your royal physician? Hurry up and follow them. It would be better if he was also present."

Javier Glover, a Westhaven royal physician, had already rushed into Lisandra's room. Though there were two medical attendants with Lisandra, the Starhaven group had moved to enter the room. Fearing trouble, Javier immediately followed.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Penny shouted at Violet, her eyes wide with panic. "What do you want to do? Are you trying to hurt me?"

"No, of course not," Violet assured her softly, clearly not interested in confrontation. "If you need to go in, we'll go together."

"Yes, let's all go in together. We're all here for Grand Princess Lisandra's health," Travis called out loudly.

The Capital Guard and the Westhaven guards began to push and shove. Carissa had given orders not to engage physically, so the Capital Guard, though shoved, could only use their shoulders to counter the pressure.

The scene descended into chaos. Because Travis was dragging Leroy and Violet was tightly holding onto Penny's hand, they were being forcefully moved toward the eastern courtyard.

Carissa and Sebastian had already reached the eastern courtyard. Meanwhile, the maid, Aria, had returned to Lisandra's quarters to tend to her, having stepped out briefly to listen in on the ongoing debate to see what decision had been made.
